# Iran has accused the US of using Pickaxe Mountain as a pretext for further attacks. This is believed to be an underground nuclear site where Tehran is suspected of building an undeclared enrichment facility. US president Donald Trump earlier this week threatened to attack the facility soon. Iran has warned any American attack on its nuclear facilities would be treated as an expansion of the war in the Middle East. It maintains its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful energy purposes.
